Respeceted Sirs,
I am a new user to ethereal and I have been given a
task to develop a new protocol dissector for
Ethereal.I read the README.developer and am currently
making changes according to my assigned protocol
definition.But I donot know how to make it
recognisable by ethereal means where to save my
packet-***.c file and what are the steps that I should
follow to make my protocol dissector appear on
ethereal GUI screen.I know that it would be very
tedious but I would atleast like to know the outline
of sequence of steps that I need to make.
Could anyone suggest me in this accord.
Thanks in advance,
bye,
Nimalan.



Kust have a look at README.developer:

1.9 Editing Makefile.common to add your dissector.
